42 code dated 1939

Hello Jack, note I didn't say Hi Jack for obvious reasons!! The 1939, Code 42 is a fairly common version. Somewhere around 86,000 of these were made.

Now having said that, the value will depend on the condition and the fact that all the external AND internal parts match. At least those that are suppose to match. The internal parts that should match are the trigger, grips, main toggle pin, breechblock, hold open lever and firing pin.

The price of a very nice shooter, that which the parts don't match, is somewhere around $600. If the parts do match and the finish (including the bore condition) is somewhere around 90 percent, then a higher price is possible.

Hope this helps!!
